Over

The information set forth under

of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as otherwise expressly
stated in such filing.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding our future business expectations which involve risks and uncertainties.
Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication
of future performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by
terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “might,”
“objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,”
“should,” “target,” “will,” or “would” or similar expressions and the negatives
of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors relate to, among others: competition,
managing our growth and corporate culture, financial performance, investments in new products or offerings, our ability to attract
drivers, consumers and other partners to our platform, our brand and reputation and other legal and regulatory developments, particularly
with respect to our relationships with drivers and couriers and the impact of the global economy, including rising inflation and
interest rates. For additional information on other potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
from the results predicted, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent quarterly
reports and other filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. All information provided in this
release and in the attachments is as of the date of this press release and any forward-looking statements contained herein are
based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
statements in this press release, which are based on information available to us on the date hereof. We undertake no duty to update
this information unless required by law.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
To
supplement our financial information, which is prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA growth;
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information in this Current
Report on Form 8-K is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making
and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core
business operating results.
We
believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance
and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s
internal comparisons to our historical performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both
because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational
decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health
of our business.
There
are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In light of these limitations, we provide specific
information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial
measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
For
more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the sections titled “Key Terms for Our Key Metrics and
Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures” included in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and our subsequent SEC filings. We are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA growth, Free Cash Flow or Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to the closest corresponding GAAP
measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items. These
items include, but are not limited to, significant legal settlements, unrealized gains and losses on equity investments, tax and
regulatory reserve changes, restructuring costs and acquisition and financing related impacts.
